The document discusses a radio program about brand names that asks listeners questions to test their knowledge. It asks which brand is named after a Greek goddess, which is named after the company's founder, which means "three stars", and which is named after a very large number. It also asks about the meanings of names like "Soundboy". The questions then ask about what the letters in IKEA stand for, what Samsung originally sold, Nike's original name, why Sony chose its name, and how "Google" is spelled.
